22" is a good start, with most of mine being about 24". Shorter and they stick way too far over your shoulder and catch EVERYTHING.

I've used a plains quiver for a while, and it's my favorite style. I've tried back, side, stalker and such, but the plains is very functional and authentic to boot.

I've seen a couple build alongs for the plains style. What material could a guy try, that is cheap, just to see if i like them? ;D Also, what do you put in the bottom for broadheads?

Well, truth be told... for hunting I prefer a bow quiver. I have one of the 2 piece ones with rubber straps, that wrap around the limbs. It really only works for flatter limbed bows. It holds 4 arrows, is very quiet, and everything is handy.
For target shooting, I like a side quiver.

I don't know of ANY historical evidence of the back quiver being used BEFORE Hollywood's first Robin Hood movie (might be wrong and would love to learn about it...!)
But nonetheless, if the back quiver FITS WELL it's very handy and will NOT get stuck to anything in the brush, and if it's FUR LINED (mouth and buttom) it'll be as quiet as a side/,plains quiver and in most likely the better choice for a longer walk! Althat being my opinion, don't know whether that's for ererybody...
I do the bottoms with the thickest wildboar hair on hide; I'm sure that will resist the sharpest broadheads for a looooooooong time...
